How do we protect website visitor information?

Our website is scanned on a regular basis for security holes and known vulnerabilities in order to make your visit to our site as safe as possible. We conduct regular malware scanning and we utilize security protocols designed to ensure that data you transmit to us remains secure and cannot be intercepted. Our communications with you unless and until you become a client will never involve asking for financial information, like account or social security numbers.

Data Processing and Storage

The personal information we collect is stored and processed in United States, or where we or our partners and third-party providers maintain facilities. We only transfer data within jurisdictions subject to data protection laws that reflect our commitment to protecting the privacy of our users.

We only retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide a service, or to improve our services in future. While we retain this data, we will protect it within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. That said, we advise that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and cannot guarantee absolute data security.

If you request your personal information be deleted, or where your personal information becomes no longer relevant to our operations, we will erase it from our system within a reasonable timeframe.

Cookies

We use cookies to track information about how you use our website. A "Cookie" is a small text file that is transferred to your browser and stores information about your interactions with a particular website. A cookie is then read by the Web server that placed it on your browser. It works as a sort of identification card, recording your preferences and recalling previously entered information. By using cookies, we seek to reduce your navigation time and simplify your use of our website.

Third-Party Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information unless we provide you with advance notice. This does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others' rights, property, or safety.

Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to other websites operated by third parties. Clarkston Capital Partners, LLC is the investment adviser for the Clarkston Funds and is therefore affiliated with such third party. Except with respect to the link to the Clarkston Funds website, links to third-party websites are not an endorsement of or representation that we are affiliated with any such third party. Except with respect to certain portions of the Clarkston Funds website, we do not control third-party websites, applications or services, and we are not responsible for their content or actions. Other websites, including the Clarkston Funds website, follow different rules regarding their collection, use and sharing of your personal information. We encourage you to read their privacy policies to learn more.

California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy.

Consistent with the requirements of CalOPPA, we agree to the following:

  • Website users can visit our site anonymously.
  • You will be able to access our Website Privacy Policy through a link on our home page, or at a minimum on the first significant page after entering our website.
  • Our Website Privacy Policy link includes the word “Privacy” and you can easily find it on the page specified above.
  • Website users will be notified of any Website Privacy Policy changes on our Website Privacy Policy page.
  • Website users can request copies of personal information we have collected through our website about you no more than twice in any 12-month period.
  • Website users may request that we delete personal information we have collected through our website, subject to certain exceptions.

Website users are able to make the inquiries and requests referenced above or change their personal information by emailing us at [email protected] or by calling us at 888-450-7620.

How does our site handle Do Not Track signals?

We honor Do Not Track signals and do not track, plant cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place.

Does our site allow third-party behavioral tracking?

It's also important to note that we do not allow third-party behavioral tracking.

Children Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

Our website is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13 and intend to fully comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

Fair Information Practices

The Fair Information Practices principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to complying with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.

Consistent with these Fair Information Practices, we will notify website users via email within seven (7) business days in the event of a data breach involving the information collected through this website.

We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or a government agency to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

CAN SPAM Act

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

We collect your email address in order to:

  • Respond to your requests, questions, comments or feedback regarding our services; and
  • Send you newsletters or other marketing materials regarding our services.

Consistent with CANSPAM requirements, we agree to:

  • NOT use false, or misleading subjects or email addresses;
  • Identify advertising messages as such in some reasonable way;
